A flavorful and healthy Creole-inspired fish dish, perfect for a quick and delicious dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the dish inside for even cooking.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Drying the fish helps it bake evenly and prevents excess moisture.
Place the fish fillets in a baking dish.
Use a baking dish that fits the fillets snugly to keep the juices around the fish.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the fish fillets.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice enhances the flavor better than bottled juice.
Slice the tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion, and arrange them around the fish in the baking dish.
Cut the vegetables into even slices for uniform cooking.
Sprinkle black pepper and red pepper flakes over the fish and vegetables.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish for doneness by gently flaking it with a fork; it should be opaque and tender.
Serve the baked fish and vegetables warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a side of rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
